Facts about Portuguese

Portuguese (português or língua portuguesa) is a Romance language (meaning that it is descended from Latin) in the Ibero-Romance group. Portuguese spread worldwide in the 15th and 16th centuries as Portugal established a colonial and commercial empire (1415–1999) which spanned from Brazil in the Americas to Goa and other parts of India, Macao in China and Timor (north of Australia).

Portuguese is one of the world’s major languages, ranked seventh according to number of native speakers (between 205 and 230 million). It is the language of about half of South America’s population, even though Brazil is the only Portuguese-speaking nation in the Americas. It is also a major lingua franca in Portugal’s former colonial possessions in Africa.

Portuguese is the official language in nine countries also being co-official with Cantonese Chinese in Macao and Tetum in East Timor.

The main principal trading partners of Brazil are the United States, China, Argentina, Germany and Japan.

Brazil is currently the largest trading partner of China in Latin America, and China is the second largest for Brazil.
